The Harwinton Florist llc

s always fast and clear with communication over email and when my husband and I met with her in person, she took the time to walk us through every detail. I’m not someone who knows much about flowers or didn't have any specific preference to flowers for the wedding, so I simply shared the colors I liked and trusted her creative vision and she absolutely delivered. The arrangements she designed were stunning, and I received countless compliments throughout the day about how perfect the flowers were. It was also a huge help that Christine has done multiple weddings at The Simsbury Inn and had even worked with our photographer before. Her familiarity with the venue and our other vendors made everything feel seamless and so much less stressful. My absolute favorite piece was the beautiful floral arch she created for our ceremony. The colors she chose paired perfectly with the sage green fabric that matched our wedding palette and it became such a gorgeous focal point. I also loved that it could be repurposed for the reception so we could enjoy it all night long. Christine’s talent, professionalism, and warm personality made working with her such a wonderful experience. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend The Harwinton Florist to anyone looking for breathtaking, thoughtfully designed wedding florals.

d no idea what I really wanted for my wedding florals, and she helped me really nail down the exact vision deep down inside me that I didn't know I had - and she TOTALLY nailed the florals for everything, including centerpieces, groomsmen boutonnières, etc. You would be totally amiss to pass on hiring Christine to do florals for your big day, or any special event for that matter!

honesty in relation to our vision. The in person meeting made us feel so comfortable and excited to move ahead in the floral process. We had a unique vision involving some of our own thrifted pieces and Chris was happy to work with us. Chris delivered the florals herself snd seeing her in our getting ready suite the day of was so special. She brought our vision to life better than I could have expected, we were simply blown away away and her and her teams work on our wedding day. We would recommend Chris and Harwinton to absolutely anyone!! 

tly what we were looking for and recommend her professional opinion where needed. Our vision came to life on our wedding day and we couldn't have been happier. Chris had great communication with us during the week of the wedding, letting us know of any minor changes, and everything turned out beautifully. Her prices are very reasonable and I would highly recommend her services. Thank you Christine!

the location of my ceremony and reception, etc. all without me having to remind her. She was respectful of our budget and was able to give us options to save while never compromising my vision. She asked questions I would have never thought of and was so detail oriented and organized. She handles all the coordination with the venues and other venders so you don’t have to which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Our flowers were my Pinterest board dreams and she executed my vision perfectly! 10/10 recommend The Harwinton Florist for all of these reasons!

thing turned out. Was most in love with my bouquet. Everything was magical and seamless without any stress! 

& honesty regarding the colors/types of flowers we wanted for our April wedding. Christine assured us that she would do everything she could to make our vision come to life- and she did just that! After sending her examples of what we wanted, she brought those pictures to life at our wedding! She is very knowledgeable, skilled & professional in her business. We also appreciate how honest she was in regards to one of our floral arrangements that were affected by a natural disaster. She sent us numerous options that were similar to what we liked & continued to work with us to make us happy! Fortunately, we were able to receive enough of our product & still have our dream wedding. Christine is the real deal. She is very forthcoming which is appreciated in the wedding industry because you want to make sure you both get what you want. Thank you Christine for everything that you did for us- our wedding was BEAUTIFUL!" - Emily & Sam Franke 

to go over every detail, and both meetings were so helpful. She was the only florist we consulted with who wanted to meet in person, and that made a huge difference. Sitting down together allowed us to share our ideas more clearly along with see her ideas, and she truly listened. She is also the only florist we consulted with who was truly fair with pricing. We didn't feel like she was taking advantage of the word "wedding" like some vendors may. She worked within our budget and there was never a hidden cost. She's incredibly organized, fair, communicative, and talented. Christine looked at our Pinterest board and brought it to life while adding her own touches based on what flowers were in season and what we wanted. She has an intuitive ability to understand your vision, even when you can barely put it into words. I was the type of bride who didn’t have a big floral vision; I just knew I wanted something between wildflowers and formal bouquets, and I wanted it to look like a scene out of a fantasy book. Christine captured that balance perfectly. When I saw my bouquet, I cried. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. What sets Christine apart is how personal she makes everything. She considers every detail from your dress, your height, your style, and creates arrangements that feel like you. She’s a true professional in every sense, and her entire team reflects that same care and skill. Our florals were stunning, unique, and completely us. We owe that to Christine and The Harwinton Florist. Thank you!!

e the most beautiful bouquets and I couldn’t be happier!

autifully than I imagined. Every arrangement – from the bouquets to the ceremony arrangements to the centerpieces – was breathtaking. Christine has an incredible eye for color, texture, and design, and it shows in the quality and artistry of her work. The flowers were fresh, full, and thoughtfully arranged, and every single detail was on point. She perfectly captured the aesthetic we were going for, and the results were beyond anything we could have hoped for. Guests kept asking who did our flowers because they were that stunning. Christine is not only talented but also warm, responsive, organized and so easy to work with. We’re still swooning over the florals – they were a highlight of the day!

h out vendors. The florals were absolutely stunning and she went above and beyond to make sure our vision came to life.

and what is available for your season. She combined centerpieces built by my father with antique pots I had collected over the course of wedding planning into one stunning, cohesive look for our wedding. Her team is so kind and professional as well. We cannot recommend Christine enough!

de my vision come to life! My flowers were BEAUTIFUL!!!! Everything I could have imagined and more. Truly so stunning! Definitely recommend!

th a level of discourtesy that was both unexpected and unwarranted. Upon our first encounter she came off brutally aggressive and harsh towards my vision for my wedding. When I inquired about a specific arrangement, Chris responded with thinly veiled impatience and a dismissive tone that bordered on hostility. At no point did I feel like a valued customer. As I sat in her shop trying to convey what I wanted she rudely kept telling me she would not be able to arrange the exact colors I wanted and made me feel incompetent as I was on the borderline of tears and an anxiety attack she provoked. She was very unaccommodating to us being very rigid in her schedule and precious time. The overall attitude conveyed an unfortunate sense that my business was more of an inconvenience than anything else. In an industry that revolves around care, presentation, and thoughtful service, such an approach is not only unprofessional—it is baffling. It is a shame, as the floral selection itself appeared adequate. However, the lack of basic courtesy has ensured that I will not be returning, nor would I recommend this shop to others seeking a respectful and welcoming experience. Fortunately Chris made me aware she will be closing her shop in 2026 so for any future brides that are searching for a florist, you’ll be spared the rudeness and hostility I was met with. Good luck to anyone who is working with her.

g 20 days for her to get back from vacation, I booked a consultation. Due to family reasons I needed to reschedule but Christine decided she had no interest anymore and would rather meet with another couple who inquired about our wedding date after us. Guess waiting over 20 days for her schedule means she cant wait 1 day for us. While I understand that florists can only do one wedding day, I do not know why Christine decided to treat me as such an inconvenience to her and have a rude tone in her emails. I hope she learns to be more professional and watches her tone in the future.

rocess. She is a true professional and I took a lot of her advice to help me make decisions on what to do with the flowers on our wedding day. It was very important to me that I had really beautiful floral arrangements to tie in all of the decor and it could not have looked better. I cannot thank The Harwinton Florist team and Christine enough for giving me the most beautiful flowers and arrangements for our big day!

. She helped me take my ideas and turn them into a cohesive vision. I was a very indecisive bride with lots of ideas and Chris was very patient with me explaining how certain visions would work best with my venue. Two months later, my guests are still raving about the flowers, how beautiful and vibrant they were. Chris went above her duties and left me a heartfelt and memorable surprise. I had requested to have my great grandmother’s watch incorporated into my bouquet and Chris had the time set for our ceremony. It’s small details like this that set her above the rest in her field. We highly recommend, Chris from Harwinton Florist.

n with me and went above and beyond. She showed me pictures of past floral arrangements and talked through every detail. We met a couple more times to finalize the plans. Christine was the absolute best to work with and really helped me bring my loose ideas to life, better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend the Harwinton Florist!

who knew exactly what she wanted and Christine embraced my vision! Honestly they came out better than I could’ve imagined. She was thorough, knowledgeable and offered her advice and opinions which were invaluable. She’s friendly and personable and was just a treat to interact with every time. She is very up front about pricing and I felt the price was more than reasonable for what we got. She let me drop off a box of antique medicine bottles that I planned to use as decor with loose flowers in them and I was blown away with how they looked grouped together in sets of twos and threes across our reception space. The amount of compliments we received from guests and even staff at the venue was incredible. From the arch to my cascading bouquet to my guest tables, the florals were absolutely stunning and fit the theme of our wedding perfectly. As I said before, she really saw my vision! I would recommend The Harwinton Florist to anyone and will use her again in the future for other events. We genuinely cannot thank you enough Christine!!!

apes of the bouquets! She was also such a big help with setting up my centerpieces and huge flower arrangements on the arch at the ceremony (which were repurposed to the sweetheart table.) My flowers came out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and we I got so many compliments on everything she did! We couldn’t have asked for a better florist!

able and professional. She took the time to get to know me & my mother-in-law during our meetings. I had a vision for our wedding flowers, but I didn't know how to verbalize everything. Chris got my vision and knew what inspiration photos to show me. Our wedding flowers were absolutely beautiful!

ision came to life. She took the time to truly understand our style and desires, and her attention to detail was unmatched. Even when we made changes along the way, Christine was always flexible, accommodating every request with enthusiasm. She made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable, and the end result was absolutely stunning. If you’re looking for someone who listens, cares, and executes perfectly, Christine is the one!

get everything we wanted for florals and stayed within our budget! She even went above and beyond by decorating a second arch (in addition to our outdoor ceremony arch) that we used inside the venue for pictures. We highly recommend her!

p guide us through the process. We completely changed our color scheme halfway through the planning process, and she quickly adapted and provided the most beautiful flowers. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful our flowers were and the colors added such a special touch to our wedding.

so made a wristlet for my late mother which was so special. Highly recommend.

ay! I asked for lots of color and a centerpiece design that she doesn't usually do and she delivered. Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were and how much they brought to the overall decor of the wedding. After every meeting, I felt secure knowing that whatever she came up with would be beautiful. Put your trust in Christine, she will make your floral dreams come true (any for a great price)!

ing it to life. She helped walk me through my options without compromising my budget or must haves. I can’t stop looking at our foral photos! It’s like looking at a real life Pinterest board! Absolutely dreamy! Chris is knowledgeable and dependable. Everything you want in a florist!

ith her was seamless - from our very first intro call up until our planning meeting. She is very through in ensuring that she is capturing your vision within your budget. Although we live New York and she is based out of CT, she carefully coordinated dates for us to meet with her to go through every single piece she was creating for us. On the day of wedding, I teared up, she had created something beyond what I was even expecting and envisioning. It’s so evident how much love and care she puts into servicing all of her clients. I would highly recommend her for any wedding big or small and am looking forward to working with her again in the future!

my bridesmaids. All of the corsages and boutonnières were also incredible. The centerpieces for my tables were above and beyond my vision. She delivered everything on time and set it up beautifully. She is clearly an expert florist and I recommend her to any bride! It was also perfectly within my budget.

xpert in her field, and has a clear passion for what she does, which made it easy to trust her and her process. When I first saw my flower arrangements my eyes lit up because they were better than I could’ve ever imagined. I received so many compliments on my flowers not only about how they were beautifully arranged but also how they lasted nearly a month after my wedding! I’ve already recommended The Harwinton Florist to everyone I know and wanted to share my great experience with them so others could have a seamless floral experience on their wedding day!

ed our flowers to look like. She provided us suggestions when we needed it, demonstrated her strong understanding of types of flowers/color combinations and gave us suggestions when we needed it related to what would work well in the venue. She was very organized throughout the entire process and planning meetings and had quick communication. Our wedding flowers turned out even better than we had envisioned. Highly recommend using Harwinton Florist!

ngs and prompt with her quick responses. She is so detail oriented and knowledgeable about what will look good and work together, and created everything we could have hoped for with our flowers on our wedding day!

o ever! She had excellent communication and responsive times and she really listened to our vision regaridng the flowers. She was honest about what could be done within our budget and she gave the best advice every time I showed her an inspo picture of how she could make it work for our wedding! She was fully onboard with our colorful theme and I found it so helpful to reply on her experience when I had questions! Christine was a pleasure to work with and I can't wait for our next big event so we can work together again!

clueless as to what we wanted and all of the components that go into flowers/arrangements for a wedding. Chris definitely picked up on that and made extra time to go through our options with us. Her questions, patience and experience really helped harmoniously tie my husband's preferences with my own. She nailed our styles on the head and made them look phenomenal together. We both could not have been happier with the flowers on our wedding day, and how professional and 'on it' Chris was through the entire experience! You will be in the best hands with her - she listens, she has a lot of experience and she is extremely knowledgeable. Her love for what she does also very clearly shines through and that helped make the process interesting and exciting. I've heard flowers can be a very expensive and stressful component of the wedding process, but Chris made it easy, seamless and very affordable.

sure I was happy with my choices. She was always transparent about the process and also gave great advice when it came to floral aspects I wasn’t sure about. She also worked perfectly with my wedding planner. I love design and throughout the entire process she made me feel excited about the final design and wedding aesthetic. I remember seeing the bouquets on the morning of the wedding and being in absolute love. All of the other floral arrangements were gorgeous as well. And her team did a fantastic job getting everything to the church and reception venue on time and set up beautifully. I highly recommend her and her team. Thank you Christine!!

rally cried the day of my wedding at how stunning they looked. The whole process of working with Christine was great. She really takes the time to sit down with you and walk you through everything. I didn’t realize there were so many choices and little details to discuss with the flowers, but she made it so easy! And it was fun :) 10/10 recommend the Harwinton Florist!!!

and received many compliments. We also rented the bloom bar which Christine filled with a beautiful assortment of cut flowers, and she supplied the bud vases. She is professional and communicates details very clearly. I highly recommend Harwinton Florist for any event you are planning - you will receive excellent service and high quality flowers.

. She will keep you on track, stress free, and we had a great time meeting with her, we looked forward to our visits, planning our wedding with her!! Thank you so much!!

autiful floral arrangements I've ever seen! She was incredibly responsive and gave us a timeline from the beginning of when we'd check in, when we needed to have final numbers, etc. We met to go over flower choices and she was so helpful in making my vision come to life. She was detail-oriented, adaptable, creative and such fun to work with. I felt so special on my wedding day and having the bouquet I had dreamt of made it even more special.

k and Chris/her team set up everything!!! We are so grateful that we worked with them because they made our wedding day stress-free when it came to center pieces, ceremony florals, and more. I also really appreciated how Chris makes an effort to repurpose florals to the extent possible (e.g., bring ceremony flowers into the reception, etc.) We cannot recommend them enough!!!

to sit with me and explain all of it!! I originally wanted just white and green, and she explained how colors will really pop in my bouquet and different flower pieces especially during my October wedding. I am so happy I listened to her because I loved my flowers and got so many compliments on them! Her prices are beyond affordable and her work is incredible. She is also a very easy person to talk to and gets back to you no matter what the question is. I am so glad I chose Christine and The Harwinton Florist to make those special details a part of my wedding!
